About
thesis-engine is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by estevanhernandez-stack-ed. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-12 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13.
Research feeder for thesis and long-form writing. thesis-engine does the cold-start work before you can write: it scans a field for live, low-competition topics, gathers primary sources across five research axes, and emits research notes plus a BibTeX bibliography ready to drop into a thesis project. An optional stage adapts the same research into a Smart Brevity blog draft. Four commands across three stages: discover, write, run, and blog. Pairs with vibe-thesis — the engine feeds, the thesis tooling drafts.

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
